The eyepiece of a light microscope has a magnification level of 10x. If you were looking at a paramecium under the lowest-power objective (4x), what would be the total magnification of the microscope at this setting?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The total magnification will be 40x.

Explanation:

As we know if the magnification of the eyepiece of a microscope be [tex]m_{e}[/tex] and that of the objective be [tex]m_{o}[/tex], then the total magnification is given by

[tex]m = m_{e} \times m_{o}[/tex]

Given, [tex]m_{e} = 10x[/tex] and [tex]m_{o} = 4x[/tex]

Therefore total magnification is [tex]m = 10 \times 4 = 40x[/tex]
